GDT: WJC Preliminary Round: Game 19 | 12/31 | 5:00PM PST | Russia Vs Canada

[Fred McCarthy]

If Denmark beat Canada 7-0 in soccer nobody would feel sorry for Canada

Unfortunately, not even Canadians would feel sorry for themselves . We've never even scored a goal at World Cup game. I think whoever gets the best start to this game will carry the day.

 

[Startseva]

Breathe... Relax.

for u it's ok. i was thinking it's international forums, isnn't it?
if u have read from the day i registered here BS you would understand me more.

even here i see double attitude. imagine the difference where are mixed billions of money. coz as u know in usa n canada players have multi million contracts and money invested in. and if they will be able secretly taking not legal doping its nice invesmtent, inst it?
eu trying to fight inside these organizations fighting for pharmaceutical business which is billions of dollars.


just someoen wanna throw shit here, but when we talk seriously abotu in adn in details they say ''lets talk abotu game now''. they are beaking the rule offtoping here that's it.

That's the whole point though, how many countries have hockey as their #1 sport...
2 Titles in the last 9 editions is no domination.

Two, actually. Canada and Finland

Now....are we to count players in the system, too?

If we do that then I believe hockey is more popular by numbers in the USA than it likely is in a country of roughly 4-10 million (Slovakia, Sweden, Czechia, Finland, Denmark, and so on.)

Canada is hockey central....no question. USA could have hockey as an uncommon sport and eventually outnumber Sweden or even Canada by a wide margin when it comes to players in the system.

Soccer, baseball, basketball, rugby and so on have their hotbeds and those hotbeds like winning games that others don't really play all that much. Nobody apologizes.

Wrestlers wanna wrestle, even if the sport is nothing to their countrymen.

World series? Parts of the Caribbean, parts of North America and a small corner of North East Asia are not the world.

Canada does not like losing at hockey.
Kiwis like to own Rugby.
North American football is a big deal to a very few people. But it really matters to them.

The point is....
We're talking hockey on a hockey forum.

You seem to be saying your side will lose due to apathy and the other reasons I've heard are slanted ice and environmental conditions and home ice and game time and on and on....

I think it matters enough to you and others that you come across as trying to soften a potential blow. In your case, something that perhaps matters to you but not to your countrymen. Don't be so skeptical. Some of them care, too. Maybe even more folks than lives in Switzerland.

 

[Zine]

Because they nave no real journalists. They are singing in one tune about how bad Russia is.
Starting from FIFA WC 2018 ending to state-sponsored doping. Our sprtsmen were checked before the Sochi many times, they were regularry bringing silver and gold medals. Our sportsmen were bringing huge number of medals before all these stories. Even before the moment doping appeared at all. Our sport always had and have a great potential and traditions. But the informational campaign started. They want to show like all our achievement's it's doping.
------------------------------------

All sports organizations, including the International Olympic Comitee and WADE, they are very depend on a large number of components. The controlling interest is in the USA.
2002 year in Salte Lake city. Our pair have won in the ice scating. They got the gold. Canadians - silver. After that the wild hysterics began. All the American newspapers, radio, television, they shouted that it was a conspiracy of the Russians. Came up with some crazy scenario in which almost the Russian mafia bribed these international judges... ofc, without evidence, without ****ing anything! Under this pressure International Olympic Committee decided to award for the second time, where the gold medals were given to the Canadians too and our pair were forced to participate in this clownade. So, by that act they just showed who is ruling the IOC, that's it.

Americans dropped the baton, so what? **** it, lets run again. We are Americans, we can. No, it's not the training or the sport event with the friends in the yard. It's ****ing Olympics in Rio. An unprecedented event in the history of the Olympic Games.

The success of the American team in Brazil. 121 medals. Then WADA was hacked and the secret materials were out. As it turned out, American athletes during the Olympics were taking prohibited doping. Including ****ing DRUGS!

I want to say more, there is the list of the sport types who simply said **** OFF to WADA. WADA is not allowed in ''American'' sports like American football, baseball and so on. It's succesfull commerce organizaitons with own rules, with own list of banned doping which contradicts the WADA sheet. Basketball players who playing in NBA and who playing in Europe taking different control system.

Why no one taking medals away from sisters Williams, or basketball US teams (all the bodybuilders, all pure athletes, we understand that they eat chicken breasts from childhood, ofccc), from their gymnasts? Because there is no common rules and Americans define who is good and who is bad.

If we talk about pure and honest sport, rules must be common for everyone which is obvious. They are so liberals that do not see the things are happening towards Russia is pure racism. Something like that happening when we talk about whites and blacks... blacks can be racist a bit more than whites. You do not even how racist and blid u are. ur society. we at least being honest and not hypocritical okay.
---------------------

I want to say more. The saying that we have state doping system has no base because it's build only on WORDS of ONE human with doubtful reputation (Rodchenkov). But the apogee happened back then. Court of Arbitration for Sport justified a lot of sportmsen that IOC banned from the Olympics. It means the whole construction of Ronchenkov's words is bull****. But after the decisions of the Highest Sport Court - IOC answered: this court must be reformed. International Olympic Comitee, are you idiots??? Are you ****ing idiots? It's your own court!

So, who is in the cheat? brainwashed people. putin dictator. so on and so on. in WC 2018 u will be killed by russian hooligans and bs liek that. go on.










Can I ask moderator? You ban and warn me when i use bad words or smth provocative, but this persona said ''mother****ing Russian fan'':
Isn't that provocation? For that type of talk u can lose ur teeth in real life.
if it's ok i can say that he is mother****ing Canadian fan. okay. And that will be my attitude to him here.

I think in North America, journalism has morphed with entertainment. Nothing sells like sensationalism and controversy; media preys on peoples sentiments. $$$$$

Perhaps because Russian hockey is seen as a challenge to Canadian superiority, at least in the historical context, Canadian media craps on everything Russian? I dunno.

Huh? I'm a big defender of Russian players and Russians in general. I went to Russia less than two years ago and made friends I still keep in touch with. I'm just saying, you need to relax.

I am 100% with you on the media frenzy.

You lost me with some of it, though.

How often do you expect your skaters to fall down for a gold? Would twice be good? Four times too much? How are you and the French judges getting on these days?

 

[Old Watcher]

Huh? I'm a big defender of Russian players and Russians in general. I went to Russia less than two years ago and made friends I still keep in touch with. I'm just saying, you need to relax.

I've been there as well.

I found the hockey fans to be knowledgeable and fair-minded.

I have no issue with Russians at all. We just want to beat them. That is a compliment to them. They know it.

Totally. My first post this thread even said these are my two favourite teams in my favourite matchup.

You're all set up!!

 

[Michael Brand Eggs]

Joe Veleno is probably asking himself right now, "Wtf do I have to do to earn a spot on a line?"

 

[snipes]

The two biggest rivals in international hockey face off again.

Can’t ****ing wait boys. Getting close to game time.

Go Canada Go!!

 

[TimeZone]

Don't think either team have looked too good so far. Sweden/USA/Finland(Finland is debatable) are still the ahead of both imo.

 

[Messrules11]

4-2 Canada, Happy New Year all!

 

[Startseva]

of all teams I seen the most ''gold'' now is Sweden, but watched them only with Finland, dunno how it goes next.

I think in North America, journalism has morphed with entertainment. Nothing sells like sensationalism and controversy; media preys on peoples sentiments. $$$$$

Perhaps because Russian hockey is seen as a challenge to Canadian superiority, at least in the historical context, Canadian media craps on everything Russian? I dunno.

in smth u right, just i don't wanna to develop a thought on that theme
russians can firgive almost anything. but not arrogance.

 

[snipes]

Disagree. Those 3 teams are not ahead of Canada and Russia.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Don't think either team have looked too good so far. Sweden/USA/Finland(Finland is debatable) are still the ahead of both imo.

You really think the USA have looked better then Canada? That is highly questionable.

Correction. It's not North American media; maybe just Canadian. Sports-centic xenophobia doesn't exist in the NBA or MLB like it does in the NHL; at least not to the same extent.
Sure, we all want for our team to win but a national circle jerk over a bunch of teenagers defeating the 'evil enemy' is just messed up, imo.

Russians looking to forgive , I need another drink ...haha

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Disagree. Those 3 teams are not ahead of Canada and Russia.

I don't think any are ahead of Canada, but I'd take Sweden over Russia. Maybe Finland as well. I don't see the argument for USA though

 

[TimeZone]

I haven't been overly impressed with either, but Canada was super disappointing against Switzerland for me. They could've easily lost that game.

Sweden has looked the best of the bunch, despite their horrible collapse.

 

[4thlineduster]

Joe Veleno is probably asking himself right now, "Wtf do I have to do to earn a spot on a line?"

Play better....

One assist and a decent dangle doesn’t negate 4+ games of being invisible.

Maybe just Canadian? are you serious? do you have any idea of your history with the Soviet Union and Russia and what your media has wrote about them over the years?

I mean they were evil incarnate for you guys.................still are to a large degree.

Anyway, enough.........................................it's game time.

 

[Dominance]

Because they nave no real journalists.

if it's ok i can say that he is mother****ing Canadian fan. okay. And that will be my attitude to him here.

It takes a special kind of nerve to say that America has “no real journalists” as a...actually, I won’t dive down that rabbit hole.

It’s a hoot that you tried to talk tough moments after appealing to a moderator and if you look, I didn’t refer to a “Russian fan” but a “Russia fan.” There’s an important difference. The cursing was obviously intended only to highlight the absurdity, not insult the person, and if you’re the one guy that can’t see that that’s not my fault. Similarly, the article I inserted was not intended to be inflammatory, but to quickly bunch together information that highlighted the hypocrisy of the other poster’s rant.

 

[trilobyte]

Disagree. Those 3 teams are not ahead of Canada and Russia.

Sweden is the team that has impressed me most along with Canada. The Swedes are very structured and they look good as a team not just standout players.
